Hi Honey

How are you today?  How was work?  It was a rather busy day for me today.  I was awake early to do extra worship, but I did get a couple of extra hours sleep in after the dawn prayer for a total of 6 hours.  That should be good enough for an adult with a busy lifestyle.  After the morning chores, I had an early lunch then commuted downtown to run some errands.  I hate commute, but oh well.  Drivers here are more psycho than the USA, and almost none of them are drunk.  I bought a lot of cheap perfume- I found a deal for 3 vials for RM10.  It was jasmine flower perfume: it smells like jasmine when you sniff the bottle and put some one, but after a while on the skin it smells very Middle East.  Just some stuff to wear to the mosque.  I cut the grass over at your house in the evening.  There should be room for 2 identical houses in that area inshaAllah, plus my little house/office/studio right next to it, so I'm never away from my wives at any time.  I don't have any friends, so I will only be hanging out with my wife.  I had rice and eggs for dinner, then my Dad gave me some cockles so I had to process that quickly.  Clams must be cooked immediately!  I think I'll make fried flat noodles with cockles tomorrow, a local delicacy and one of my favorites.  It's raining right now, so I won't make it to the mosque.  After this I have to prepare a letter for the taxman, then I have to work on my wardrobe.  You have a great day, OK?  I love you.

Life is a stage

Hi Honey!  How's life treating you today?  Oh life is a stage, you should have learned that by now.  Most of the time we can't deal with the crowd, so we put on an act.  Quite often we don't want to go to work, so we go through the motions.  Put on a show.  But we are in showbiz, so I guess we have to put on a show all the time.  Don't worry Sweetie, you'll get used to it.  And don't show off for the crowd, do it for God, the Real Audience.  Now you certainly don't feel like expressing yourself all the time to the world, and you don't have to.  I'll do most of the talking.  You just be my girl.  You tell them to talk to me, because I'm your husband inshaAllah.

Qur'an 20171204

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

23.  That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds.  Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin."  And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good in respect thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready To Appreciate.

Floating on a raft

Hi, Natty honey!  You are my honey, too.  Sometimes I address my wives as one, especially when there's something general to share with the public, so don't you ever think that I would leave you or Erin out of my life at any time.  Have you been drinking enough water?  You sensitive sweetheart.  There is a connection between the mind and the stomach, that's how people get ulcers, that's why you prefer certain foods over others.  If you drink lots of water it helps to balance out the effect of stress on your tummy.  Yeah it's a bother to have to pee all the time, but you must look after your precious tummy, especially since you eat like a bird.  Today is Sunday.  Every Sunday morning, I clean my mother's bedroom and toilet.  I'm trying to create a balance for when my wife gets old, that our children will take care of her.  This is taught by Islam, and this is how we will raise our children: they must not abandon their mother when she gets old.  You can appreciate that, right?  After I finished the Sunday morning chore, I made my lunch which was deep fried pocket bread to eat with leftover chili.  It was good and filling, and I didn't have to spend any money today.  I have to do voice training every day after the midday prayer.  I still have a lingering cough from all the continuous rainfall of the past week, so voice training today was like floating on a raft on the big blue sea.  That is also my material life and my finances, like floating on a raft on the big blue sea, completely at the mercy of Allah.  But I have faith that Allah will provide me with wealth enough soon to finance our marriage and family inshaAllah.  Please be patient with me, and pray.

 

Qur'an 20171203

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

15.  Now then for that, call and stand steadfast as you are commanded.  Nor follow their vain desires but say, "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you.  Allah is our Lord and your Lord.  For us our deeds, and for you your deeds.  There is no contention between us and you.  Allah will bring us together, and to God is the final goal."

Full moon fever!

Hi Honey!  How was your day today?  I'm sure you are busy, but please take care of your health and eat properly and get enough sleep.  Oooh what a hectic day it's been.  I woke up really early but not talking about that, after I got up again I did my usual routine of cleaning up after the cats and watering the plants.  It didn't rain yesterday, but the ground was so wet I only watered the plants that live under the roof.  Then my Mom wanted me to get her some breakfast, so I got on my motorcycle.  When I tried to start it, I broke the kick starter.  This is the 3rd time in 6 years I broke the kick starter!  My feet are big yeah, but I didn't know that they had the strength to break the kick starter.  I can barely balance with these feet: they used to be size 9 then they ballooned to size 11 after I returned here from the States (foot injury from working in a restaurant).  Well, I had to get downtown to get a replacement because none of the tools I had could provide a temporary solution.  But before that I had to struggle through voice training, because even though I wasn't put out of action, I still had a cough from all that recent rainfall.  Blessed be Allah that I was able to start the motorcycle by running while sitting on it, you know like the Flintstones.  I tried running beside it, but my feet are too clumsy for me to jump on it after gaining enough momentum.  So I was able to start the thing in gear 4, then make my way downtown to fix the problem, and keeping it in gear 4 and constantly revving to make sure the thing didn't stall.  Blessed be Allah that I was able to do it by myself.  After I fixed the kick starter, I got the tools I needed to provide the temporary solution, because I'm convinced that I will break the kick starter again eventually.  Now it's raining again.

Oh by the way, I've used up my data quota and it won't renew again for a few days, so please don't go looking for me at the chat room in Second Life.  I will be working on my wardrobe though.  This dress I wore last night made me look fat, but I managed to temper that by wearing a cowgirl motif.

 

 

Hey! Where am I going to sit?

Hi Honey!  How's it going today?  I hope things are going smoothly for you, and you are in the pink of health.  All that recent rainfall had an effect on my body.  I managed to escape chest congestion, but there is still a little bit there slightly clogging my lungs so I don't have total control of my voice when I sing.  I still have a fever, but I have lots of aspirin.  I'm not flat broke right now, but I do need to finish off what's in the cooler before I buy more food.  I made 3 liters of marinara sauce, my own usual recipe, secret to the public!  Tastes good though, and has lots of tomatoes.  I needed to use up some ground beef and hot dogs, so I decided to make a meat sauce.  I normally make meat sauce chunky, but hot dogs?  Honey, those hot dogs must be used up and we can't just throw them away.  So I put the burger and hot dogs into the blender with the marinara sauce, and hoped for the best.  The meat turned the sauce a little lighter, and the flavor was not bad, and it was still slightly chunky to a degree.  Don't worry honey, I didn't use up all the marinara sauce.  There's still 1.5 liters of the vegetarian stuff in the freezer.  I cooked it up and added a little sugar, then put it in the cooler for tomorrow's dinner which is linguini and meat sauce.  I ate dinner tonight at Ina's.

People are going crazy about my girl!  For our wedding, I want a simple ceremony and dinner at the local mosque for family and a few others.  This marriage is already very complex, so let's keep the wedding simple.  If you want a ritzier wedding with a bigger crowd, you can have that whenever and wherever after the ceremony I chose, but I can't pay for that: you will need to get it sponsored.  Just remember to keep it Islamic if you want me to participate.
